The story so far: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is scheduled to launch the NVS-03 satellite on October 30, in a mission that could help restore the functioning of India’s indigenous satellite navigation system, NavIC.

The launch comes at a time when the constellation has been weakened by repeated failures of onboard atomic clocks and the inability to place its previous replacement satellite, NVS-02, in its intended orbit.
